Abstract

An analytical procedure for the separation and determination of melphalan in human plasma was carried out. A simple high-performance liquid chromatographic method with electrochemical detection was developed taking advantage of the high sensitivity of the electrode redox reaction. The sample pretreatment consisted of a direct extraction of the interferents rather than of melphalan, owing to the difficulty of extraction of the drug, and was very simple, rapid and reproducible.
